Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on all classes for a market trend but a lower undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to weak on a light test. Trading activity was moderate. Buyer demand was moderate as buyers have been a little more timid as drought conditions persist in the Panhandle and continued volatility on the CME board.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $444.74, low $341.20, median $386.46 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
